Sounds Like
"Electro Velvet Pop" ... Euro-Electronica meets classic American rock guitar vibe with UK vocal and production sensibilities. Thought of as a Pop Bjork, or Electronic Tori Amos, Kat Valerie of Staark is one of Australia's most stunning vocalists, who offers a incredibly unique, yet accessible and consistent quality of both lyric and melody. The song subjects range from ground-level angst, lust, and love to higher-consciousness, compassion and hope.... Staark is truly a "global" band with no limits.
I think it's fair to say that Staark is not just another new female electro pop artist in the growing list, but is striking out against the bland, same-same, blaa-pop that infects our airwaves... but I'll leave the judgements up to you from here.
Staark is a brand new canvas for creative collaboratives Kat Valerie and Max Luther. Both familiar and fresh, the songs are turning heads and tuning in fans to their distinctively evocative, new-vintage, bitter-sweet sound. With edgy yet well-crafted songs, “electro velvet pop” comes closest to defining their own unique juxtaposition of pretty melodic threads, gritty indie-rock guitars and dynamic electronic deliveries.
